Secrets of Surrender

By: Madeline Hunter

Narrated by: Simon Prebble

In Secrets of Surrender, best-selling author Madeline Hunter pulls listeners into a seductive Regency-era tale of untapped desire.

When proud Roselyn Longworth is auctioned off at a dinner party to the highest bidder, she dreads passing from one cruel man to another. But Kyle Bradwell proves himself to be a true gentleman and an even more insatiable lover, and Roselyn finds herself succumbing to his seductive grip - one that demands her complete surrender.

Great!

I loved this book!

First off, unlike some audiobooks, the narrator was top-notch, with a lovely British accent that worked perfectly for the book. Secondly, the story was a little slow at first, but worth the work, because when the story crashes in, the characters are already well developed, which helps propel the story into greatness.

There are lots of twists and turns and complicated relationships which seem true-to-life. For anyone who loves stories which are sexy, but with deeper undertows that pull you into the storyline and characters, I highly recommend this one!

Good story

Great narration. This was an interesting story and Simon Prebble did his normal great job as narrator. I like Klye a bit better than Rose only because Rose was continually unnecessarily dense. I appreciate her devotion to her brothers (I have brothers and understand) but her inability to see the bigger picture was a tad frustrating. Kyle, however, should have told her about the threats to her. That constant stain of not wanting to hurt her ran a bit thin after awhile. Overall good romance and story. Satisfying that the villain did see retribution.

Way to go Simon!

For many reasons I liked this story but two stand out the most. First there was zero angst. I hate silly plot twists used to extend a story, this one is not like that and second, I feel Simon Prebble did an amazing job with the narration. Yes this book is worth the money and I will listen to it again one day.

The dishonored lady and the gentleman miner

I did not think the current rating of this book is doing it justice and should be in the 4+ stars. Lady Rosalyn finds herself in a nightmarish situation, being auctioned by a sadist viscount to his friends. Kyle Bradwell was an unlikely guest and the only person who interceded to help her. As the story continues, we see how an untitled hero full of integrity and strength of character continues to clash with a sadist and cruel man who uses his noble rank in the most despicable and self serving way. I particularly liked the exploration of the difference of classes and their impact on the relationship between a ruined lady and the son of a miner. I also enjoyed the pace of the story, the building of trust between the main characters, the eccentricity of their helpful friends and the final confrontation with the villain. This is my first book for this author and I'm now a fan. The narrator was pretty good as well.

A very good book

I especially liked the fact that this wasn't about aristocrats, but a young engineer. Madeline Hunter always writes very compelling stories. This is the third book in a series. I listened to it first, but it was interesting to read the first two books, and then listen to this again.

As always Simon Prebble is the best narrator around.
